SHER­LOCK

The whole point of Sher­lock is, of course, that it’s a mod­ern take, up­dat­ing Holmes for to­day. So the idea of pop­ping Bene­dict Cum­ber­batch (who ad­mit­ted he thought the idea was “mad­ness”) in a deer­stalker in 1895 seems a lit­tle re­gres­sive. While it’s a per­fectly pass­able story about a “ghost” set on vengeance, it misses out many of the things I love about the show.
